"Sui'an, what are your plans next? Although we haven't heard much about people from the lower realms accidentally entering Yunchuan in recent decades, I have heard of a few cases like yours in the past hundred years since Xingchuan and Shangyun merged to form Yunchuan. Regardless of their qualifications or whether they embarked on the path of cultivation, no one can return to their original world."

Sui An had anticipated what Master Lan Jin would say. Although she didn't know why the Yunchuan boundary wall, which had been stable for decades, was so easily broken again by a star beast whose main body couldn't even pass through the Wuxing defense system, she could guess that her arrival here must have been due to the superposition of some inevitable and accidental factors, factors that she could not replicate, at least not with her current abilities. She didn't know whether there would be a powerful cultivator in this world who could open the space-time channel again, but even if there was, it had nothing to do with her.

Where to go next? How to survive? This question has been lingering in her mind since she got the information about Yunchuan from Fan Qiongzhi.

"Senior, I would like to stay in the Jinling Sect and start my cultivation from now on. I wonder if your sect would be willing to accept me as a disciple?"

"Practicing requires spiritual roots." Master Lan Jin glanced at Fan Qiongzhi, who lowered her head in embarrassment.

Sui An was a little surprised and turned to look at Fan Qiongzhi beside him.

"Um...Uncle Master, I used the Spirit Detection Mirror to test Sister Sui, and she does have spiritual roots."

Fan Qiongzhi was already feeling a little guilty, and now being watched by Master Lan Jin and Sui An, she felt even more guilty, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Sui An didn't know what she was feeling guilty about until she heard Lan Jin's question.

"When did you test your spiritual roots for little friend Sui?"

Fan Qiongzhi changed her address to Sister Sui, and Master Lan Jin also changed from calling her by her own name to calling her Little Friend Sui.

It seems that Fan Qiongzhi's behavior of testing his spiritual roots without his consent while he was unconscious is not allowed in the Yunchuan Realm, or at least in the Jinling Sect.

As expected, Fan Qiongzhi's face flushed, and she turned around and bowed deeply to Sui An. "Sister Sui, I'm sorry for being rude. I saw you suddenly appear in the starry grass field in Weirui Valley, and your clothing was very different from ours. There is a formation in Weirui Valley, and you suddenly appeared without triggering it. Unless you are a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, I guessed you were a visitor from outside the clouds, and I couldn't help but help test your spiritual roots. I'm sorry for testing your spiritual roots without your consent."

As Fan Qiongzhi spoke, she bowed deeply to Sui'an.

"So, what kind of spiritual roots do I have?" She was rescued from the Starry Field in the Weirui Valley. If they hadn't told her, she would have had no idea that it was very offensive to test someone's spiritual roots without their consent. So it seemed useless to pursue this matter now. Besides, Fan Qiongzhi apologized to her in front of the most senior person in their sect. For Sui An, who had just arrived in Yunchuan, this was enough and there was no need to blame her too much.

Might as well ask something useful.

Just by asking this, Fan Qiongzhi's face seemed to turn even redder. She grunted a few times before saying, "The Spirit Detection Mirror is only a low-grade magical tool. It can detect the presence of spiritual roots, but it cannot determine the nature or quality of the spiritual roots."

"Since Miss Sui is willing to join our Jinling Sect, Junior Brother Fan will take her to the Deacon Hall to re-measure her spiritual roots and complete the procedures for joining the sect."

At this time, there were monks outside asking to see him and report something. Master Lan Jin waved at them, indicating that they could go to the Deacon Hall.

Fan Qiongzhi bowed again briskly, "Master, since you are busy, I will take my sister to complete the procedures for joining the sect."

"Go ahead. Since you've done something disrespectful to someone, you can't just let this matter go with a trivial apology. The Deacon Hall will decide how to make amends."

"Yes, disciple, I'll take my leave!" Fan Qiongzhi pulled Sui An out of the great elder's cave with a bitter face.

Sui An didn't expect that the rules of the Jinling Sect were so upright and strict. She was just an outsider with no cultivation and was completely ignorant of Yunchuan, but the Grand Elder of the Jinling Sect could make decisions for her to this extent.

Although the disciple Fan Qiongzhi looked reluctant, there was no hesitation or unwillingness on her face. It was obvious that she had already prepared for the compensation mentioned by Master Lan Jin and believed that it was what she should do.

Sui An felt that she was lucky. At least until now, she had not found any other flaws in the Jinling Sect except for its poverty.

This time there was no spiritual crane to ride, so Fan Qiongzhi and Sui An prepared to walk to the Deacon Hall honestly.

As soon as I came out of the cave, I met Tan Chuting who was walking towards me.

"Brother Tan, you're up so quickly?" Fan Qiongzhi asked in surprise. "Could it be that your flying technique can really be used as a sword-controlling technique?"

Tan Chuting coughed lightly and was about to make a vague reply when he saw a man running over from a distance, waving at him as he ran, "Brother, wait a moment!"

When Tan Chuting heard the voice, he was slightly startled, and then immediately quickened his pace and walked forward.

Fan Qiongzhi's eyes turned, and she immediately moved to the side, blocking Tan Chuting.

"Junior Brother Tan, we're still talking, why are you so anxious? If Senior Uncle Jingxu knew you were talking to someone like this and leaving without even saying hello, he would definitely accuse you of being rude and might even punish you!"

When she stopped, the people behind her caught up.

"Brother Wang, why are you so anxious? Is there something urgent?" Fan Qiongzhi was curious.

"I have something to ask Junior Brother Tan. Junior Brother Tan, did you just use the Qi Control Talisman? It just so happens that I'm a little unsure about how well I'm practicing my sword control skills. Senior Brother Yu and the others have been very busy and don't have time to test with me. Why don't you use the Qi Control Talisman to test me once?"

Wang Hao's words didn't bother Sui'an, who didn't understand the meaning of cultivation, but Fan Qiongzhi immediately looked at Tan Chuting with sympathy. Seeing Tan Chuting's pale face, she couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Tan, you used a breath control talisman worth five spirit stones. You're not just trying to compete with Dabai to see who can fly faster, are you? Go find your uncle if you need anything. Four groups of people have already gone in!"

After hearing this, Tan Chuting seemed to react and hurriedly bowed to Wang Hao, "Brother Wang, I have something to do today and can't accompany you for the trial. Let's find another opportunity another day!"

Having said that, without waiting for Wang Hao to say anything else, he hurriedly ran towards the cave of Master Lan Jin.

On the way, Fan Qiongzhi told Sui An, "Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Tan are of similar age, have similar talents, and even their masters are similar. They are both disciples of Jindan Zhenren, and they have both been lingering in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining for six years. Everyone originally thought they would remain equal, but just last month, the situation changed."

Sui An found Fan Qiongzhi's storytelling style very interesting. He was not in a hurry to ask her about the Jinling Sect and various cultivation matters. He was an interested and qualified listener, asking questions at the right time.

"Last month, the sect finally managed to purchase three mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pills from the Dan Fu Sect. Senior Brothers Tan and Wang each pooled their spirit stones to buy them from the Deacon's Hall. We all thought they would either advance together or fail again. But this time...tsk tsk... Senior Brother Wang successfully advanced to the early stages of Foundation Establishment, while Senior Brother Tan failed again. I heard that Senior Brother Tan even borrowed spirit stones from Senior Brother Wang to buy the Foundation Establishment Pills. After Senior Brother Wang successfully established his foundation, he was in a very good mood and said that Senior Brother Tan didn't need to return the spirit stones. He also said that it was only natural for fellow sect members to help each other."
